Earthquake Home Retrofit Class
2017-11-18 10:30 - 12:30 | Southwest Branch Library, 9010 35th Ave. S.W, Seattle, WA, 98126, United States
Prior to 1980, building codes did not require builders to secure houses to their foundations. This does not mean that every house built before 1980 is “unsecured”, only that it was not a requirement. If your home is not properly secured, it may be at increased risk of “slipping” off the foundation during an earthquake. Retrofitting involves bolting your home to its foundation and providing sheer/pony wall strength.
Learn to become an informed consumer or how to do home retrofit yourself. Retrofit experts will show how to assess your home’s needs and how to use the City of Seattle’s pre-engineered Home Retrofit plans to permit and retrofit your home. No registration required.

This free 2.5 hour course teaches basic life-saving medical interventions, including a brief Active Shooter preparedness presentation and methods to control bleeding.

In these circumstances, survival begins with bystanders.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
Understand the principles of your response during an active shooter event.
Describe the progressive strategy for controlling hemorrhage.
Demonstrate wound packing and learn about topical hemostatic dressings.
Explain the rationale for early use of a tourniquet for life-threatening extremity bleeding.

Get training in basic disaster response skills like fire safety, light search and rescue, disaster medical operations.
This course is accessible for all people who self-identify as disabled
NOTE: Although the City of Seattle no longer does CERT trainings and does not have an active, supported CERT program, the skills learned through these classes are invaluable for both personal and family safety, and as resources that the whole community can use in a disaster. Until now, people with disabilities had little to no access to these skills trainings – even though they have just as much need for them. These Accessible CERT classes are specifically designed to be accessible to anyone of any ability, offering an opportunity where it was not before.
3 full days: September 29, 30 and October 1st 2017. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
